so i think my ph is around 7 on my plants right now. what can i do to correct it. and how do you lower ph of water. i have a ph meter, not a digital one, so im not sure if im using it right or what. im using ocean forest soil, fox farm nutes
 
yeah i threw the box away and never read the directions on the meter. am i supposed to just stick it in the soil, or mix it with water and dirt, i just dont know. when i stick it in the pot down pretty far, it was reading right at 7 maybe a little higher. the plants all have awesome lush now green growth, but the bottom two fan leaves are completely yellow on bloth of my flowering plants

need more details... are your plants in flower? veg? what type of nutes are you using. how do you water? etc... for now, add some lime pellets to the soil, but based on yellow leaves - that might be something else entirely...
 
ok first off, im growing in an outdoor office in the backyard nately temps are anywhere from 55 to 75 in the day, and down to like 40 to 50 at night. just put the one reading 7 in flower today. have 2 more in flower already, 4 weeks into it and they have yellow leaves on like the first two sets from the bottom, but green and healthy up top. using tiger bloom and grow big on those right now, 1/2 strength every other watering. also just used beastie bloomz 1st time yesterday. didnt ph those 2 yet, just figured it would be the same because im using the same water. but now i realize thats kinda stupid.
 
soooooo what youre trying to say is that you have a PH meter that you dont know how to use or read and think you have a PH of 7 and want to naturally lower it?

im still confused
 
Those meters are JUNK, Mine has never been even been within 2 whole points of my runoff, Get a better meter, and if your at 7 your fine leave em alone. Unles the plants tell you to change it.
 
ok yeah the meter just reads weird so i dont know if i was measuring it wrong. it wont stay still and just jumps everywhere
